#LFF I have a ticket for Paper Tiger at Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall on 11th October 10:45am that I can't attend anymore so I need to sell. Issue is I accidentally selected Collect In Person tickets and I do not live in London. Is there a way for me to sell this ticket? Advice appreciated

The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

I reckon this game is ending with Laufey passing Excalibur to Atreus for his own next adventure. I'm excited for this, and I'm certainly compelled by whatever the deal is with Phranque.

If you were someone pinging critics with ‘it’s just lighting cleanup’ a few days ago, I need you to use this as a jumping off point to thinking about your susceptibility to talking points and marketing rhetoric more generally. It was right there in front of all of our faces.

Thank you so much!! 🎉🎉 The Crimson Diamond has hit 600 reviews, Overwhelmingly Positive! Making this game was my dream project, seeing people play and enjoy it gives me so much joy. ☺️ And it's still 25% off (until tomorrow) for the #CuriousOdyssey Steam event! store.steampowered.com/app/1098770/...

Screenshot of part of The Crimson Diamond Steam store page, showing a bit of the key art, on which is handwritten in clunky letters: "600! Thank you!!", indicating the game has hit 600 reviews and is Overwhelmingly Positive! The key art is altered so that Nancy Maple is wearing a conical party hat with blue and green stripes and there are little fireworks in the sky.

Finished Resident Evil Requiem. Sublime. The kind of game that keeps me playing games.

The Testament of Ann Lee is easily one of my favourite films of recent years and I cannot recommend it highly enough. An emphatic and sincere triumph of filmmaking. Amanda Seyfried's rapturous performance demands to be seen on the big screen. Go see it while you can!

Christopher Patrick @blankshore.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

The atmosphere of Resident Evil Requiem from the first minute is outrageous. I'm having to walk away from the game every 30 mins because those Grace sections are suffocating. Looks unbelievable on the PS5 Pro btw. A real showcase game for the current gen, and proof next gen should be years away.

Basically, I wanted to dig into the different games of Alien 3. Which turned into: why not do all the Alien games, as a book? And why not cover every AvP game? And several unlicensed, cancelled and fan games? And that book is out at the end of August. It's come out alright, I reckon.

The cover of Aliens: The Video Games, a book I've written. The cover, with art by Samantha Mackenzie Greer, shows someone playing a video game with an ominous alien-like shadow behind them. The book is unofficial - it's not licensed from/endorsed by Fox or Disney. But it does have over 20 new interviews in it, all exclusive to the book, covering games from 1984 to 2024. It packs in plenty of archive material, concept art and screens, product photography, and a few words on just a few of the 1000s of games to be inspired by Aliens. It's out at the end of August and pre-orders are live now at Amazon and Waterstones, with more retailers adding their listings in March. Give it a look, if it sounds like your thing. It effectively plots a course through the last five decades of Video Game Design, as seen through an Alien lens. From basic stealth games and mazes to intense VR experiences, via multiple console ports, ambitious failures, light-gun fun and at least one game that can be completed in less than three minutes. Lots more on it, soon... (also, I am very available for chats about it, and interested journos can DM me for an advance PDF).

I rolled credits on Silent Hill f last night and I had a phenomenal time with it. Game writing has disappointed me for a long time with few exceptions, but this was great. I hope this team get to tell more SH stories because this is absolutely one of the best games of 2025. Underappreciated imo.

It's a while til it's released - officially at the end of August - but if any book-reviewing types out there are interested in receiving an advance (digital) copy of Aliens: The Video Games for coverage purposes, please let me know. Cos that can be arranged. I'm very up for chats, too.

You've got to be telling the story you want to tell, the one that is the most interesting to you, the creator. Not the one you think the fans want the most.
